Lincoln City are on the verge of completing the £2.5m signing of Romanian defender Andrei Coubis. The 22-year-old has arrived in Lincolnshire ahead of finalising his move from FC Universitatea Cluj, with a 15% sell-on clause included in the deal.
Who is Andrei Coubis?
Andrei Coubis is a physically imposing centre-back who has impressed in Romania’s SuperLiga. The 22-year-old came through AC Milan’s youth academy and has a pass success rate of 89.7% this season, along with 10 successful dribbles. His ability to progress the ball makes him a valuable addition to Lincoln City’s defence.
Why is this a significant move for Lincoln City?
This transfer marks a step up in Lincoln City’s recruitment strategy as they prepare for their first Championship season. The £2.5m fee shows the club’s ambition to compete at a higher level. Coubis’ arrival follows the signing of Callum Elder and signals further business ahead of the new campaign.
What’s next for Lincoln City?
With Coubis in Lincoln, the final stages of the deal are expected to be completed soon. The Imps are also working on other transfers as they prepare for pre-season friendlies against Grimsby Town, Doncaster Rovers, and Barnsley. Their Championship campaign begins with a Carabao Cup trip to Derby County.
